Sioux Fails Fails Press: In his report
for the last year Attorney General Gar
land called attention to the fact that
there were about 5000 United States
conyicts scattered through the country,
the keeping OF most of them beng
farmed out. He recommended that they
be gathered in four prisons as q matter
of economy. 1t now costs the govern
ment from 25 cents to45 cents per day
for each convict, while if they were
gathered in foul prisons they could be
kept for about Is cents per day. A bill
for this purpose was introduced into
congress last winter and successfully
passed through the hands of the com
mittee. 1t was never reached en- the
calendar, however. and consequently
died with the forty-nipth congress.
There is little doubt but o bill will
be passed this coming winter proYld-
ing for the change mentioned by the
attorney general.
This. history is given q forerunner
to the information that g scheme is on
foot to make the Sionx Falls penIten-
tiary one of the four for the keeping of
the prisoners. Should this be succeas
full OF curse the penitentiary would
have to be greatly enlarged in order to
hold its complement of nearly 1000
men. 1t is very questionable however
whether the plan will be successful and
whether Sioux Falls wants the prisoners
if she can nave them, Experience has
shown that prisoners have a deadening
effect on manufactures. There are o
few exceptions but that is the rule.

to have the greatest power Of penetration Of
iron. the longest range with best precision, and
to be capable of more rapid rate of firing thxn
any other gun in existence. 1t is to be subjeceed
to the most severe tests, such rs firing thirty
times in one hour with charge Of 800 pounds of
carefully prepared powder, ana centered mo

giving at least 2 900 feet per second of initial va

suit OF conversion of one Of the old cast-irun
smooth bore guns which the government has had
on hands for years. and which have been pro-
nounced ''unserviceabe' and utterly useless for
the conditions Of modern warfare. The inteu-

change has been showing, OF late, degree of
steadiness which indicates the prevalence of
faith on the great European bourses that the DO
litical atmosphere is not in immediate danger of
disturbance by war. Prince Bismarck has car
ried his point in the German elections. and has
obtained in the new Reichstag not only sufficient
strength to insure the passage of the septenate
bill, but also good working majority for his
general policy of government. He might not be
able to push his nonopolistic projects to an ex-
treme, but he has obtained such mastery Of
Parliament by the success of his appeal 70 the
electors that as long as he keeps within
BILE bounds, he can count upon shaping legisla-
tion at his pleasure. According to the latest
figures from Berlin, 1856 members are definitely
elected leaving 81 districts in which supple
